Sales Recruitment Leader

We’re looking for a hands-on Sales Recruitment Leader to take ownership of our London Tech team.

You’ll inherit a mix of established and developing consultants, stepping into a role that requires daily sales leadership, real influence, and consistently high personal standards - demonstrated through your own billings, behaviours, and presence on the sales floor.

This is a true front-foot leadership role. You’ll be the one who sets the pace, builds momentum, sharpens expectations, and brings back the ambition and buzz that make London such an exciting market. With a clear commercial target to deliver, your impact will be visible and valued from day one.

If you thrive on building business, elevating people, and leading from the heart of a busy, buzzing sales environment - this is the role for you.

• Lead from the front with high personal billings - aiming £150k from your own portfolio in year one.

• Be the key sales influencer on the floor, motivating the team through visible activity, pace, and standards.

• Accelerate contract revenue through a hunter mentality: strong pipeline, land-and-expand approach, minimum 5+ active clients.

• Build momentum in the London office through hands-on coaching, daily sales rhythm and consistent behaviours.

• Strengthen forecasting accuracy and identify new business opportunities.

• Quickly build capability across a team with mixed experience levels.

• Provide daily coaching on sales activity, pipeline building, client development and best-in-class delivery.

• Set clear expectations around:work ethic • resilience • influence • ambition

• Build a high-performance environment grounded in engagement, pace, and shared standards.

• Lead from the front in client generation - you’ll be the voice of best practice for new business.

• Ensure a strong balance of fulfilment and sales, supporting consultants to build healthy portfolios.

• Foster consultative, long-term client relationships that align with our growth targets.

• Bring energy and presence into the London office at least four days a week, helping build culture, community and team cohesion.

• Work collaboratively with senior leadership to maintain pace and elevate performance.

• Demonstrate behaviours that inspire and lead from the front.

You’ll thrive here if you are:

• A hands-on recruiter who loves being active “on the tools” and doesn’t want to step back from sales.

• A natural influencer who can win hearts and minds and set the tone for the team.

• A strong biller with a clear track record of self-generated revenue and a diverse client portfolio.

• Resilient, driven, commercially minded and excited to build a London team with huge potential.

• Comfortable in a contract-heavy market, with both perm and contract experience being applicable.

• A positive cultural presence who contributes to office energy, team connection, and overall morale.
